Meridian International Center, in collaboration with the Yunus Emre Institute, is pleased to announce the inaugural U.S.-Türkiye 360 Leadership Exchange Program, a premier opportunity for American leaders to build lasting relationships with counterparts in Türkiye’s government, business, and civil society sectors. Over the course of the seven-day delegation, participants will gain unparalleled access to high-level meetings and cultural experiences in Istanbul and Ankara — two of Türkiye’s most dynamic cities — aimed at deepening bilateral ties and fostering new avenues for diplomacy, trade, and innovation.

Through meetings with senior officials from the Ministry of Finance, the Investment Office of the Turkish Presidency, the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce, and key industry leaders across sectors such as energy, aviation, banking, health, and defense, participants will gain:

  • Firsthand insights into Türkiye’s political and economic landscape.
